French Singing Workshop and Concert

Warm up your vocal cords! Our June workshop will be a joyful dive into French songs, welcoming participants of all levels as we celebrate Fête de la Musique. 

Created in France in 1982, la Fête de la Musique takes place each year on 21 June, and celebrates the idea that music is for everyone. On this day, streets and cafés across France come alive with free performances by musicians of all kinds. 

Inspired by this tradition, we are delighted to once again collaborate with talented vocal teacher and native French speaker, Lorraine Manifold, as we curate a vibrant selection of French chansons. Expect group singing, discovering well-loved French chansons and plenty of pronunciation support – all in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. 

The workshop will run from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. 

We'll finish the afternoon with a short concert from 4:15 pm featuring the Yeppoon Choral Society Voices, Les Chantelles, and local soloists, as you relax over a selection of cheeses, with wine and apéritifs available for purchase from the bar.

Friends, family, and members of the wider community are very welcome to attend the concert only.

À bientôt – see you there! 

What to bring:
A water bottle to keep your vocal cords well hydrated, a pencil for marking music and pronunciation tips, and a cheerful, enthusiastic willingness to join in – no perfection required.
